FYI, things will work out a bit differently since the server (and I assume TheDude as well) is located in Canada

Any considerations towards becoming a non profit or otherwise tax exempt entity (US: 501c3)? Some employers match donations to those (which could lead to more monies).

If you want to see what that looks like in the relevant context here (Canada), check out what lemmy.ca is doing (fedecan.ca). Would be curious if there’s non-Canadian instances taking this approach too.
I assume there’s at least some tax benefits/less of a tax liability to TheDude if doing this, but likely requires an additional level of support from folks too for the adminstrative aspects of that.
